Product Empties for August 2018

Today, I’ll be showing you some of the products I’ve emptied last month.To be honest, I don’t like the pace I’m going at with finishing up these items. My goal at the end of the year is have at least 2 empty bottles/tubes/tubs per skincare category (because I’m aware of the number of opened skincare I have on hand) and I want to see majority of those done by 2019. Anyway, let’s briefly discuss those empties of mine.

First, from the photo above, is the Goodal Apple Mint Fresh Cleansing Foam which I found to leave a squeaky, clean feeling on my skin after rinsing it off. Further search on the internet didn’t lead me to anywhere and up until now I have no idea how high its pH is — or how low — but I do believe it has a basic pH.

Next, my first impression of the Purito Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence during the time I reviewed it was a bit like average. It gave a subtle glow, kept my skin hydrated and slightly evened out my skintone but it had no effect on any of my pores. As the days went by though, it grew on me. I looked forward to patting it on the face and now that it’s gone, I miss it. In its place, I’ve opened another type of Purito essence and I’m going to see which one I like most.

Third is the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence. I LOVE this sunscreen and I’m so happy I have no sensitivity to alcohol because I enjoy applying this during my morning routines. I’ve even influenced my younger sister to use this as well.

For makeup, I only have two. One is the L’Oreal Infallible Makeup Extender and Setting Spray which I’m not really too keen about now. I mean, at first I really liked it and it does an okay job of extending the wear time of my makeup but in the time since I first used this up to the present, I have encountered sprays with finer mists than this — most of them from Korean brands. By the way, this is only the deluxe size so I have no clue whether the bigger bottle has the same spray mechanism.

Last is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder. This is one drugstore powder foundation that gives way, way more than expected. I like this better compared to the L’Oreal compact powder for my oily skin. Some days when I’m in a hurry, I skip any foundations or BB cream, put on some concealer and powder my face with this. Of course, I put on something for the cheeks and do my brows too but the point is, I’m okay with using only a concealer plus this powder.

That’s it guys, only 5 empties last month. The only items I’m sure of repurchasing are the Biore sunscreen and the Maybelline powder — in a lighter shade, probably #120. Although I’m still undecided on the Purito essence but I’ll know for sure when I review their other essence.
